Will the Transmission Alert When Low on Oil?
1 Answers
Transmission low on oil will not trigger an alert. Transmission oil serves the functions of cleaning, lubricating, cooling, and sealing within the transmission, maintaining the cleanliness of the gear system and providing lubrication to the transmission components to extend their lifespan. Depending on the structure of the transmission, transmission oil is categorized into manual transmission oil and automatic transmission oil. Manual transmission oil, commonly referred to as gear oil, is primarily composed of petroleum-based lubricating oil or synthetic lubricating oil, blended with extreme pressure anti-wear agents and oiliness agents. It is an essential lubricant used in various gear transmission devices to prevent gear surface wear, scoring, sintering, etc., thereby extending their service life, improving power transmission efficiency, and reducing power loss.
